Chapter 81 (2/2)

Huang Yi-Hu, Li Yu-Lan and the others all looked at Xia Lei and Liang Si-Yao. In that instant, the expressions of the married duo changed to that of ugly, obvious hate.

It was Huang Yi-Hu’s first time seeing Xia Lei but he knew clearly what Xia Lei looked like, where he lived and what he’d done. He also knew all the details about what had transpired in the Trade and Commerce Bureau, which was equivalent to Xia Lei giving him a slap in the face. When he saw Xia Lei, the hate and annoyance in his heart was displayed for all to see on his face, his gaze so hateful it seemed he would not hold back from drinking Xia Lei’s blood and rending his flesh.

“I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?” Huang Yi-Hu’s bodyguard had a bad temper.

“I’m not talking to you because I don’t want to. You’re not blind. Can’t you tell?” said Xia Lei.

“You fucker!” Huang Yi-Hu’s bodyguard’s temper flared and he strode towards them.

Xia Lei did not move and just watched Huang Yi-Hu’s bodyguard in silence.

A small sneer appeared on Huang Yi-Hu’s lips. He knew his bodyguard’s capabilities. The little thugs employed by Chen Chuan-Hu could not compare to him. He was sure that his bodyguard would throw Xia Lei and the woman next to him to the ground in a few seconds. After that, he would step on Xia Lei’s face with his foot and open his zipper to piss on his head!

“You sucker!” Huang Yi-Hu’s bodyguard swung a fist at Xia Lei’s head.

Xia Lei’s right elbow cut from inwards-out and blocked from inside the bodyguard’s right elbow, then blocked the punch and thrust his right hand forward, attacking the heart of the bodyguard with a Short Bridge Piercing Fist.

Bam! There was a muffled thump and the bodyguard groaned as he turned ashen. His body tilted backwards but before he hit the ground, Xia Lei suddenly moved close and used both fists to pummel him over ten times in his lower abdomen in the blink of an eye.

“Bleurgh-” Blood sprayed from the bodyguard’s mouth and he fell head-first onto the ground. He struggled to get to his feet but only got ten centimetres off the ground before he lay bonelessly down again.

Only five seconds had passed from the time Huang Yi-Hu’s bodyguard had attacked to the time he hit the ground. Normal people could only blink a few times in such a short period of time but Xia Lei had knocked down a professional bodyguard!

Everyone’s eyes went to Xia Lei, and they were full of fear and astonishment.

The only person who acted normally was Liang Si-Yao because she knew Xia Lei’s strength. Xia Lei could beat the ironman-like Lu Sheng, so what was this bodyguard to him?

“Ptew!” Xia Lei spat on the face of Huang Yi-Hu’s bodyguard, and, pretending to be a hooligan, cursed, “Fuck, I needed to vent my anger and you just pissed me off. You think I’ll be afraid of you because you have a sucker big boss? Let me tell you - Even if your boss is here, I’ll beat him up too if he dares to open his mouth!”

This line was obviously directed at Huang Yi-Hu.

The two bosses accompanying Huang Yi-Hu looked at him strangely. They did not say anything but their eyes spoke volumes - aren’t you an underworld boss? Can you take being cursed at like that?

Huang Yi-Hu was so angry his face had turned the colour of pig liver. He regretted bringing just one bodyguard this time. Xia Lei had insulted and provoked him but he could not beat him in a fight!

The accompanying bosses had their own bodyguards too but Xia Lei’s earlier display of skill had shocked them and they wouldn’t challenge Xia Lei even if their bosses told them to.

The atmosphere turned heavy with nervous tension.

Huang Yi-Hu reached for his waist with his hand.

Xia Lei looked at Huang Yi-Hu’s waist area and his eye twitched, revealing a black handgun. He felt a jolt of nervousness and quickly thought of countermeasures. He looked at Li Yu-Lan next, and prepared to push her towards Huang Yi-Hu the moment he took out the gun, then take the opportunity to hit the gun out of his hands.

It was very risky to do so but it was also the best course of action.

Li Yu-Lan suddenly grabbed Huang Yi-Hu’s hand in the nick of time and she said something quietly in his ear.

Xia Lei looked at her lips and lip-read her words.

‘Hu, this kid is provoking you deliberately. He’s got someone backing him. Even if you take your gun out and kill him, we’ll be finished if you shoot him in broad daylight. He’s a poor little bastard so hold off your grudge against him - there will be plenty of opportunities to take care of him.’ This was what Li Yu-Lan said to Huang Yi-Hu.

Huang Yi-Hu put his hand down, looked at Xia Lei and spoke fiercely, “You know who I am, punk?”

Xia Lei relaxed and put down his guard a little and spoke with equal measure, “Huang Yi-Hu, I’d recognise you even if you were turned to ash. I’ll state today that you will pay for my friend’s life sooner or later.”

“Hahaha…” Huang Yi-Hu guffawed, “You? You will make me pay? Can you?”

Xia Lei sneered, “You’ll know soon whether I can or not.”

Huang Yi-Hu pointed at Xia Lei, “Fine. You have balls. Use whatever you have to come at me. I’ll take it all. I’d like to see who gets the last laugh!”

Li Yu-Lan maintained calm all throughout and she had thought about the details. She asked probingly, “Mr Xia, I did not expect to run into you again so soon. Let me ask this - what are you doing here?”

“I’m here to look at this piece of land,” said Xia Lei.

“Look at this piece of land?” Li Yu-Lan looked at Xia Lei in surprise.

Huang Yi-Hu and the two bosses also looked at him in surprise.
